Abstract

Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood.

Description

Has the absorbent cores of improving structure
Invention field
The present invention relates to for the absorbent article absorbent cores of sanitary towel etc. for example.
Background of invention
The absorbent article that is used for absorb body fluids such as menstruation or blood is known in the art, and comprises for example feminine hygiene article, such as sanitary towel, panty liners, tampon, interlabial devices and wound dressing etc.When for example considering sanitary towel, these goods generally include as towards the liquid permeable topsheet of wearer's layer, as egative film and the absorbent cores between top flat and egative film towards the liquid non-permeate of clothes layer.Body fluid is gathered by top flat, and subsequently is stored in the absorbent cores.Egative film can prevent absorbed fluid wets wearer's clothes.
Absorbent cores can comprise one or more fibrous absorbent materials, described absorbing material can comprise for example cellulose fibre (being generally wood pulp cellulose), synthetic fibers or their combination of natural fiber as known in the art then, as for example combination (each is formed by selected fiber type) of batt or non-woven material or tissue layers of different fibrous layers, or comprise the layer of being made by different natural fibers and/or synthetic fibers.Described structure can comprise the different single layer that engages or combine, or alternatively, described structure can be by form the structure that different layers prepares with the continuation method that hereinafter will limit in more detail.
What be similarly this area institute likewise known is, when the part (being generally absorbent cores) of goods comprises superabsorbent material, such as being the fine dispersion form usually for example during common absorbent gelling material of a granular form (AGM), can be of value to absorption and the retention characteristic of absorbent article.That the superabsorbent material that can be used for absorbent article known in the art generally includes is water-insoluble, water-swellable, form the crosslinked absorbable polymer of hydrogel, and described material can absorb a large amount of liquid and can keep this type of absorbed liquid under middle pressure.Absorbent gelling material can be incorporated in the absorbent article by different known ways, is incorporated into usually in the cored structure; For example, absorbent gelling material of a granular form can be dispersed in the included fibrolaminar fiber of core, or is localised between each fibrous layer with the layout that concentrates more on the contrary, or is localised in the pocket, as known in the art.
In general, the absorbent article that comprises absorbent gelling material has good absorption and retention characteristic to body fluid such as urine usually.Yet, still have much room for improvement it for other body fluid absorption and reservation.Specifically, menstruation and blood especially are difficult to be effectively absorbed and retained in the absorbent article that comprises superabsorbent material, because described material does not demonstrate best absorption and retention characteristic to described body fluid.
The absorption of this non-the best and keep mainly results from superabsorbent material to the relatively poor permeability of menstruation and blood, therefore then owing to viscosity and/or the recombination property of these fluids.Menstruation and blood are actually water-based fluid, and described fluid comprises higher molecular weight, also comprise the blood cell component, and described component comprises erythrocyte, leukocyte, soluble protein, cell debris and mucus, their superabsorbents absorptions to these fluids of can slowing down.Therefore the suitable stiff of menstruation and blood more is difficult to be absorbed in the conventional absorbing structure that comprises absorbent gelling material by nature.In addition, blood cell component such as erythrocyte also can reduce the absorptive capacity of some super absorbing particles.This is converted into fluid slower initial absorption speed in the superabsorbent material that is ingested, when being ingested in the absorbing structure that comprises superabsorbent material then, and described slower speed can cause lower final absorption and reserve capacity.
In addition, when considering fibrous absorbent material more generally, known different fiber and different fibre structures can demonstrate different behaviors and effectiveness to body fluid especially menstruation with blood.For example, cellulose fibre for example wood pulp cellulose demonstrates bigger absorption and diffusion capacity to the aqueous distillate of menstruation and blood, described aqueous distillate can very rapidly be gathered and can be transmitted in fibre structure and away from the initial acquisition zone, and blood cell and higher molecu lar weight component can not spread equally well, therefore can keep near the initial acquisition zone.This type of blood cell and higher molecu lar weight component are tending towards preferentially advancing in the direction perpendicular to the plane of absorbing structure.In addition, natural fiber and composite fibre materials can be suitable for providing densification or the heavy absorbing structure that is intended to for absorbent cores more or less.
The trend of recent years is tended to use thinner and more effective absorbing structure, and described absorbing structure utilizes the combination of common fibre structure and superabsorbent material.Described thinner structure can provide the absorbent article that has made up better comfort, privacy and the suitability then.
Although known have a variety of various combinations of fiber and absorbent gelling material and different absorbent core structures of layout of having, but still need a kind of for absorbent article, in particular for absorbing the improved absorbent core structures of menstruation or blood, it utilizes different absorbing materials absorbing and managing specificity aspect these compound body fluid, thereby in stable thinner structure, or under any situation that when absorbing, is changing (for example increasing) its thickness between its whole normal operating period indistinctively, obtain the better result who weighs with fluid acquisition and distribution.

Have surprisingly been found that, absorbent cores with above-mentioned characteristic can provide absorption and the processing capacity to body fluid (especially compound body fluid is such as menstruation and blood) of improvement with common thin and comfortable structure, and described structure has the dimensional stability of improvement, such as hereinafter detailed description.
Absorbent cores is thin basically, and when carrying out the transition to wetting situation from dry condition, changes its thickness indistinctively, that is, when absorbing liquid, the shown value that goes out when keeping its thickness near dry condition.In situation of the present invention, this dimensional stability can be by relatively dry density and wet density are represented.Absorbing structure for example the density of absorbent cores of the present invention with g/cm 3Expression, and can be s known as technical staff, by adaptive unit suitably directly by the basic weight (g/m of certain layer 2) and thickness (mm) calculate, wherein thickness as mentioned specified when drying regime and wetting state two states at 20g/cm 2Evaluate and test under the pressure (1.96kPa).Dry density and any other parameter of linking to each other with " drying " word for example dry weight all in dry structure or layer evaluation and test, the structure after wherein so-called " dry structure or layer " refers to nurse one's health 24 hours under 25 ℃ and 50% relative humidity.Wet density is evaluated and tested after following process: suitable structure sample is immersed in artificially continues 120 minutes up to reaching capacity in liquid (AMF), and subsequently keep sample to hang five minutes or any situation stops to eliminate any unnecessary fluid basically up to dropping liquid.The basic weight that be used for to calculate wet density for after having eliminated any unnecessary fluid as described above, by the basic weight of the saturated sample of AMF.AMF prepares according to method hereinafter described.
Absorbent cores of the present invention can be by increasing its density and exceedingly not increasing body fluid that its thickness absorbs correlative for example menstruation or blood basically in wetting situation, although it comprise relatively in the cellulose fiber peacekeeping absorbent gelling material of equal percentage.Therefore, absorbent cores of the present invention has bigger efficient aspect compound body fluid such as common menstruation and the blood absorbing and handle.
According to one embodiment of the invention, absorbent cores has wet density, described wet density can be greater than 5 to 20 times of dry densities, or greater than 8 to 15 times of dry densities, this means when initial, thin structure can increase its density when absorbing liquid, therefore keep its thickness almost constant or only increase slightly and do not demonstrate significant swelling, and the absorbent article that described swelling can make absorbent cores during use and comprise it then becomes comparatively heavy and be may comfortableness relatively poor.Therefore, absorbent cores of the present invention has been utilized the absorptive capacity of its component material more efficiently.
The dry density of absorbent cores of the present invention can be between 0.04g/cm 3And 0.3g/cm 3Between, or between 0.08g/cm 3And 0.15g/cm 3Between.
Ground floor
Ground floor 50 is fibrous layer, and this layer comprises cellulose fibre and is substantially free of absorbent gelling material.Cellulose fibre can for example be made up of wood pulp cellulose, but also can use aforesaid other cellulose fibre with as the substitute of wood pulp cellulose or with its combination.Also a small amount of synthetic fibers can be included in the ground floor 50, the content of described synthetic fibers is counted maximum 20% percentage ratio by the dry weight of whole ground floor 50, or by weight 15%, or by weight between 7% and 12%.Suitable synthetic fibers can be selected those from known in the art, and bicomponent fibre for example such as known polyethylene/polypropylene fiber, can be included in the ground floor 50 and makes up with cellulose fibre.Also latex can be added in the fiber of ground floor 50, the content of described latex less than 10%, or is 2% to 5% by the weight of whole ground floor 50 by weight.The interpolation of latex can be used to improve the dimensional stability of ground floor 50, and this is related to the dimensional stability of whole absorbent cores then.Exist (succeeded by the proper heat treatment as known in the art) of synthetic fibers (for example bicomponent fibre) also can provide dimensional stability to the ground floor 50 that is in dry condition and wetting situation.
Ground floor 50 can have 20g/m 2To 100g/m 2, or 30g/m 2To 60g/m 2Overall basic weight.
The second layer
The second layer 60 comprises absorbent gelling material 70 and is substantially free of cellulose fibre.Except cellulose fibre, also the fiber of any kind of known in the art can be included in the second layer 60.Can use known synthetic fibers, for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, Fypro.Also can in the second layer 60, use bicomponent fibre.
As used herein, the term bicomponent fibre refers to have two kinds of component fibers.Usually, bicomponent fibre is made of relatively similar component, and the difference of described component for example is their melt temperature or softening temperature.In situation of the present invention, particular is the polypropylene, polyethylene bicomponent fibre, but other combination also is feasible combination such as polyester/polyethylene, polyester/polypropylene, polyamide/polyester, polyamide/polyethylene and polyamide/polypropylene.Yet, the conventional material that uses is above-mentioned polypropylene, polyethylene fiber composition, described compositions provides with certain form, make in the profile of fiber, material with higher melt or softening point provide fiber core the middle part and be responsible for the fiber conveying capacity usually and have certain rigidity or the ability of the structure with resilience force is provided, and the outer coatings on the core of fiber has lower fusing point and be used for promoting comprising the hot adhesion of the substrate of this fibrid.The so-called axle core design of this bicomponent fibre can not be accurately point-symmetric with the central point of cross section, but provides the shaft portion of fiber in order to make fiber crimp with unsymmetric form.Find that this can advantageously influence resilience force and the intensity of fiber.
In typical embodiments as described in the present invention, polypropylene cores has the polyethylene coated of unsymmetric form in the outside, make that in a highly preferred embodiment, about 50% fibrous material is polypropylene, and 50% fibrous material is polyethylene.Certainly, also can select other quantitatively and will depend on overall fibre dimensions to a great extent, because preferably the binding agent on the fiber surface that is provided by polyethylene need have certain thickness in order to good bonding is provided with regard to absolute magnitude, and its relative quantity can change.
The second layer 60 also comprises one or more absorbent gelling materials 70.These absorbent gelling materials can absorb a large amount of aqueous body fluids usually, and can further keep this absorbed fluid under modest pressure.Absorbent gelling material can be equably or anisotropically is dispersed in the structure of the second layer 60, namely is dispersed between the fiber.
